Line 7:

The collection takes form as a series of objects made from plaster, paper, and wax, and voice recordings (audible through headphones). The objects include miniature masks taken from statuettes of German cultural figures, as well as traces of other common items and imagery.

At once, ~~these~~ objects ~~are significant~~ to central Germany and the locality of Weimar, and yet they ~~speak more widely to a negotiation of~~ the ~~dynamics~~ of ~~culture and history~~. ~~The collection does not seek to fabricate~~ or ~~foster~~ a narrative, instead ~~remaining~~ honest to ~~the~~ abject sense of irony ~~it puts forward~~.

At once, the objects invoke a significance particular to central Germany and the locality of Weimar, and yet they could be taken anywhere and displayed as the spoils or curiosities of another place. Not being interested in fabricating or fostering a narrative, the objects instead remain honest to an abject sense of irony.
